Parenting Therapists in Oklahoma City, OK

If you want a therapist dedicated to helping you and/or your marriage who will challenge you and the ways you do things with directness, humor, honesty, and care, please give me a call. I can help if you are willing to take an honest look into yourself and your patterns and dedicate yourself to changing. As your therapist I will help you find ways to break through your limiting patterns and beliefs so you can move forward and live the life and have the relationship you want. Warning: my therapy is not easy and not for everyone, as it is challenging and requires humility and courage to do the hard work of changing.

I work with people who want more satisfaction in their lives, jobs, and relationships and who are willing to challenge themselves in this pursuit. My approach is interactive and engaging--I will help you identify habitual thoughts and behaviors which may be getting in your way. I will also guide you in making useful links which will ultimately lead you to getting more of what you want in life.

Are you looking for online, video or telephone sessions (e.g. Zoom)? Do you find yourself feeling depressed, sad, hopeless, or worthlessness? Have you lost interest in doing what you love? Do you have fears that is causing negative thoughts? Do you feel stress from day to day activities? Do you find yourself experiencing fatigue? Is it difficult concentrating, coping in your environment, or easily irritable? Do you have a need to live a worry, sad, or stress-free life? Have your license been suspended? Do you need an alcohol and drug assessment to regain your driver's license due to an DUI or possession offense?

Sometimes we don't like how we think or feel and that may initiate ideas about seeing a therapist. Beginning therapy for the first time or continuing your healing journey means you desire to live better, and that is courageous to choose to do. I want to give you the best experience with therapy. I believe in the beginning it is most important that the space be safe, comfortable, and inspiring for growth. My goal is to allow you to ask any questions and raise any concerns you may have so we can create an atmosphere where you can freely express yourself.

Sometimes life can take us unexpected places, leaving us feeling unsure of our path forward. I believe in meeting you where you are and helping you get back on track or finding a whole new one in a judgment free straight forward atmosphere of collaboration and safety. Let's work together to find a place of peace, happiness, and healing through the promotion of self-compassion, positive self-worth, and self esteem. Whether seeking help navigating your individual concerns, those of your children, your family, or loved ones, I can help.

If you are struggling, I can help. You might need some tips for handling anxiety, or you might need to process loss. Maybe you need to sift through how your faith intersects with what you are experiencing. Counseling can't change all of your circumstances, but it can change the way you experience them.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I want to help individuals and families find their full potential. I enjoy working with individuals who experience depression, anxiety, family problems, relationship problems, grief/loss, and daily life stressors. Each individual is unique therefore my approach can be flexible to meet each person's needs.

You thought you’d have a better grasp on life by now, right? If you’re honest, you’ve grown weary of the merry-go-round of trying & failing to the point that you’ve started recycling those same strategies to no avail. Maybe you’re finally ready to admit that your ability to navigate relationships hasn’t improved despite your efforts & communicating simply feels like standing in the middle of a minefield. It doesn’t have to be this hard. Maybe I can me help! Trauma impedes our ability to accurately filter what we see, hear & experience in life, therefore, inhibiting our ability to function optimally, especially in relationships.

Few open spots. I believe that every individual is capable of cultivating change through commitment, effort, and vulnerability. During the therapeutic process I empower clients to use their existing strengths. My specialty areas include the following: marital/couples, men's issues, adjustment disorders, ODD/ADHD, anxiety spectrum, substance abuse/addictions, pre-teen challenges, trauma, and grief/loss.

Life continuously throws curve balls and coping can be difficult when you are a child and are not in direct control of your environment and situations. Sometimes children need someone to sit with and help process so many complicated emotions, feelings, and thoughts. I appreciate empowering the clients I meet with and I believe in the transformative value of having a listening ear. I want to be that person for your child and encourage them to shine through all of it. I believe your child can be a fierce light in this world despite their circumstances.

Are you experiencing anxiety or stress or struggling through a life transition? Wishing to feel more like yourself again or maybe you're hoping to recover from past wounds? These are some of the most common issues I help clients overcome. Life can be hard, and no one tells you All The Things that come with it. Everyone has a story: yours is what makes you who you are, but it does not define you. I work with each of my clients to examine these stories and create an individual plan to help them live their best life.

I help millennial women get unstuck. Many women promise themselves they’ll do things differently from now on - and find themselves stuck in the same spot 6 months later. Life’s too short to let your past keep disrupting your future. Life in the modern world can put on an immense amount of pressure. I can help you overcome anxiety, depression, and the things that are holding you back from living out your potential.

Healing Time with Shawna Shine offers an eclectic approach to therapy that facilitates self love, empowerment, and humor. Guidance that encompasses self- acceptance and the attainment of life satisfaction goals is my specialty. Together we will focus on purposeful living by tapping into your strengths, talents, and skills as a means to overcome and manage trauma related symptoms and mental health issues. Give me the opportunity to empower you to become the best version of yourself by learning how to accept, love, and value being you.

My experience working in the mental health system for over 10 years has shown me the impact of oppressive systems on the well-being of individuals. This is why I believe as a therapist it is my duty to view all client struggles through systems theory (the impact of external systems on an individual versus the independent “deficiencies” of one person). Your struggle may be tied to race, culture, sexual orientation, gender identity, neurodivergence, etc. Maybe you’re having a hard time setting boundaries, focusing on your own needs, forming healthy relationships, breaking intergenerational patterns, or not reaching your goals.

I am often asked how I help my clients. First, I see you as more than a client. I could be in your shoes. I would want you to treat me like real person instead of just another client. I get to know you...the real you. I dedicate time to hear where you have been and how those experiences helped shape who you are today. Next, we identify the roadblocks that have kept you stuck. Lastly, we move into solutions. We work together to identify strategies and the most effective ways to implement them.

Welcome to a journey of healing and self-discovery. As a Master’s Level Counseling Intern, I am dedicated to supporting you on this path. My diverse background and personal experiences have shaped my approach to counseling, making it as unique as the individuals I work with. As a father and husband, I’ve experienced firsthand the complexities of family dynamics and the importance of nurturing healthy relationships. From coaching young athletes, I’ve learned patience, empathy, and teamwork, which I bring into my counseling practice. My faith is a significant part of who I am, but I deeply respect and honor your beliefs.

If you're facing life changes, struggling with relationships, personal habits, or stress and anxiety; finding the right fit in a therapist is going to make all the difference. I am an experienced telehealth therapist who focuses on your personal strengths and helps you find your own way through your problems. I offer support, compassion, and often times a good sense of humor. We can work together towards your goals.

No one comes to a therapist because they need a lecture. You're here because you need a partner on your personal journey to healing. Good therapy is an invitation into a dialogue, not a monologue where someone "thera-splains" yourself to you. It's my passion to help my clients with self-esteem, depression, anxiety, parenting and learning to find enjoyment in daily life. I use trauma-informed and strengths-based approaches to support my clients and am LGBTQ affirming. My areas of expertise include life transitions, depression/anxiety and positive parenting coaching (including how to support your LGBTQ child).
